I am a physician practicing medicine and pulmonary subspecialty in New York. Photography has been my lifelong hobby. In pursuit of my hobby I have taken courses in Photoshop, attended photography lectures, seminars and workshops and have traveled with photographic groups to near and remote places. In camera clubs I have lectured and given slide shows and have heard lectures by professional and amateur photography experts. Some of my photographs have been published in medical journal, magazines and brochures. This is my first book of photographs selecting flowers as the major subject. The flower and botanical images were taken during travels in different parts of the world but mostly in our home using available props, by daylight or floodlights. I used a 35mm Nikon camera and more recently a Panasonic Lumix.

This volume explores the literary representation of male sexual dysfunction and discusses the natural and supernatural elements of an ancient folk medical system based on conceptual associations between male sexuality and specific plants, animals and minerals. The work incorporates material from both literary and scientific sources to draw parallels between ancient and modern paradigms of healing. The literary depiction of attempts to remedy impotence demonstrates how an accessibility to cures contributes to the sexual and social reintegration of the sufferer. The Satyrica of Petronius echoes this process by means of the text itself and so effects similar ends. The book provides new insights into literature and the ancient belief systems underlying it with its original and integrative approach to disciplines such as philology, botany, mineralogy, zoology and medicine.
